of here just in time for your holiday travels. however, watch out for some lingering impact. we'll see some gusty winds today. that means debris on the roadway. also slick conditions will continue. we'll talk more about that coming up. another system on the way as we get into the second half of your weekend. let's check your drive with mike. palo alto 101 just north of university, taillights are heading up toward willow avenue. a smooth drive right here. there is a construction zone in the area but we don't see any major slowing and i can't even find the blinking lights. prepare for that just south of university. the map will show you the area we're talking about. here just south of the dumbarton bridge. and the dumbarton bridge itself heading over the water to the upper right there, they also have the crew in the eastbound direction. farther north there's orange cones in lanes getting cleared from peninsula avenue and north heading up toward the airport. no slowing shows up but i'll let you know if they have to run a traffic break. sounds like not a problem right now. across the bay, the oakland area

spread to the south. the heaviest time frame is 5:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. showers will subside just in time for you to head out that door and get a leg up on your travel plans. 68 in livermore, 65 for fremont and sdmec67 in redwood city. the next couple days temperatures cover in the 60s but there is a 70 on saturday. we'll get another round of showers sunday into monday, same deal, just the tail end of a system sneaking through the north bay and temperatures will stay comfortable. please stay put. i would never, ever, ever want you to miss mike inouye's traffic report because it might make you late. >> are you sure? that's good. looking over to the south bay where traffic is moving smoothie as you might expect. i expect a pretty strong commute today but everybody has to get that last day in before some folks skedaddle out of town starting tomorrow and next tuesday will be heavy, folks

back from vacation. the accident has cleared heading past greenville so no more slowing eastbound. it is westbound now that is slow which has started coming into livermore, through the construction zone on the eastbound side again. and no problems, but this is the route where we see the build and down into sunol where the crews still there just past highway 84. i still see a little slowing coming eastbound out of castro valley toward the dublin interchange but no accidents. speeds just around 60, i checked the meters, so that shouldn't be a big deal for folks heading through the area. looking over to palo alto and a smooth drive across the dumbarton bridge. a live look shows you the san mateo bridge coming over as well. here's the high rise, a nice easy drive with these westbound commuters coming over toward 101 and no slowing here. a smooth drive, although you might get caught with a gust or two on the high rise. chp has sent on the cantilever side of the bay bridge there's some gusty winds there as well. if you watch this camera long enough, the camera does shake from time to time.

and yes, that's what i do, i watch the road and cameras shake. i also noticed this. the sheen on the roadway. as christina is talking about san rafael up into santa rosa, the mist and drizzle already kicking in. a nice easy drive right now. this will not build until closer to the 7:00 hour, guys. back to you. it's 5:17. are you one of the millions expected to fly this holiday weekend? sfo already bracing for 3% spike in travelers this thanksgiving compared to last year. with so many traveling, investigative reporter elise kirschner examines what happens when medical emergencies happen at 30,000 feet and how often the public finds out about these in-flight events. >> reporter: we found that airlines aren't tracking that information internally but there is no central database to find out how often passengers need in-flight medical help. that's because the industry doesn't have to report it and there is growing criticism that the current policy could come at a cost to travelers.

>> this could be a potentially life-threatening situation. >> reporter: when there are medical problems in the skies, 90% of commercial airlines in the u.s. will call med air. >> typically the captain or flight attendant will contact us through satellite phone or even through the aircraft radio. >> reporter: the private company based in tempe, arizona, gives advice to pilots, flight attendants or any medical professional who may be on board. >> medical events are actually rare. we can't estimate. one medical event for every 30,000 -- 3,000 passengers carried. >> how often do in-flight medical events occur on airlines? >> that's a very good question and no one really knows. >> reporter: the faa does not require airlines to report in-flight medical events, even when a passenger dies. >> they're in a contained environment, so knowing what the most common illnesses and injuries and events that occur can really help better prepare

to deal with them in a more effective and cogent manner. >> reporter: the faa does require the airline carries certain items in a medical kit, but we discovered what's in those kits can vary from airline to airline. more tonight in our full investigation at 11:00. elise kirschner, nbc bay area news. all right, it is 5:19 right now and it is time to roll out the orange carpet. forget the red, it's time for the orange. a new movie in the bay area. sports fans have been waiting for it. it premieres tonight. we'll have a little preview for you. hey, here's a little something as well, a live look at the embarcadero this morning all lit up. we are approaching the holidays because those buildings are already lit up this morning. a lot more ahead. 5:19.

activity. if you will be traveling, if you are one of the lucky ones headed to tahoe, keep in mind there is a winter weather advisory in place all wait till tomorrow. snow level down to 5,000 feet expecting 6 to 10 fresh inches of powder. that means bring your chains, right, mike? >> you've got to get there before you can enjoy the powder. bring those chains because of those changing conditions and be prepared to adapt to whatever you need to for those delays. looking over here, 880 a smooth drive. no delay through the area but there's a greater number of cars. north of here there's some construction i've cancelled on the bottom of your screen but no slowing because traffic is relatively light through the area. also some construction on the upper deck but speeds are fine once you pass the s curve. we're looking at 98th avenue, the on-ramp a disabled big rig still there but only blocks the slow lane. and 880 through the area moves smoothly as well all the way up to 580 as well for the castro valley area. no more slowing in the dublin

interchange. a smooth drive now and the arrow points to the area where we had some earlier slowing. back to you. >> thank you very much. a myth buster is hoping to bust a burglar to stole a bag from his car. adam savage, co-host of the popular discovery channel series tweeted out this picture of the bag made famous by artist tom sack. savage said someone broke into his car saturday night. there was nothing valuable in the bag but the bag itself has sentimental value. >> it's like a glamor shot for the bag. >> savage is offering a reward for the bag's safe return. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas in new york city. swarovski's jewelers has unveiled its 2012 star. crews are busy covering this 20,000-pound tree with more than 45,000 l.e.d. lights stretching some five miles long.

we'll tell you what's going on as far as your morning commute coming up. and we have some new details on a plan to expand light rain service in the south bay. and a live look outside, speaking of the south bay this morning, waiting for the sun's arrival on this tuesday, november 20th. this is "today in the bay." 5:29 right now. good morning, everybody. just two days away from thanksgiving. i'm jon kelley. >> i can taste the stuffing already. i'm laura garcia-cannon. rain is actually expected to hit the bay area today. meteorologist christina loren is tracking that storm for us. how are we looking? >> we're looking pretty good. good morning to you at home. most of the shower activity right now is still located the northernmost portion of the state extending into the pacific northwest. so for us if you had to travel, you wanted to get a leg up this morning, it's a great time to do so because showers are still for the most part north of the golden gate bridge and that's where they'll remain until about noon today.

then that front starts to slide to the south. but right now as you can see i want to show you san francisco is still nice and dry. it's just marin county. showers getting cut off by a ridge of high pressure. as we head throughout the day that ridge breaks down. we stop the clock on your futurecast at 5:00 p.m. that's when the bulk of the moisture starts to push into the north bay. that front will continue to slide to the south. by 6:00 a.m. still some lingering shower activity in the south bay so count on a wet commute tomorrow but the whole thing blows out of here early tomorrow and that means great travel conditions will prevail yet again but not until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. so we'll continue to track our next system for you and let you know what you can expect for the holiday. as jon said, just two days away now. back to you guys. >> thanks, christina. it's 5:30. port of oakland workers on strike this morning have moved their picket lines from the oakland international airport to the port itself. workers say they're tired of some managers spending a ridiculous amount of money on extras for themselves but when it comes to employee benefits,

to their retirement. the union says really this is about unfair labor practices. they have been without a contract for 17 months. they also say that the higher-ups are spending freely when they are being asked to cut back so we'll keep an eye on the situation for you but now workers starting to show up. reporting looifg at the port, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> unfortunately that rat and that train getting in the way of things. christie, thank you very much. another strike happening right here in the bay area today, this one involving nurses. for the very first time in years, it involves nurses at south bay hospitals. marla tellez is live in the newsroom with a look at that and other south bay headlines from overnight. >> reporter: good morning. nurses from ten local hospitals will walk off the job at 7:00 this morning. as you mentioned, this includes more than 1,000 in san jose who have not walked the picket line in decades. for 1500 nurses at san jose's good samaritan and regional

especially out of sfo with low ceilings in the forecast as early as this morning, and winds are picking up as well and will continue to as we head throughout the day today so keep that in mind. grab your jacket, grab that umbrella. the system for the most part stays to our north as high pressure is still in control. you can see the showers breaking apart before they hit the golden gate bridge. that will continue to be the trend throughout the day but that ridge will break down as we head throughout the second half of the day. starting to get our first showers here south of the golden gate bridge starting at about noon. we'll see the heaviest activity between 5:00 p.m. tonight and 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. we're talking about the potential for a quarter of an inch to three-quarters of an inch. the north bay will get the most rain as usual. airport delays expected but we should be okay here in san jose when it comes to weather delays. wind 15 to 20 miles per hour sustained gusting at times for 30 miles per hour that. could make for a rough drive. we'll check on that commute in just one moment with mike. here are your highs today. 67 degrees in redwood city.

border using land forces, the narrative changes, the picture changes in way that say will make it that much more difficult to get back to a negotiation. >> reporter: now, the israelis had agreed even though they were standing on the ready to hold off on sending in ground troops and hold off on any sort of ground war as these negotiations seemed to be progressing. the late news within the last hour is that it looks like there possibly could be an announcement of a truce. egypt, which is trying to broker that, its president says that the aggression, as he puts it, by israelis will end within the next few hours. >> all right, tracie potts, thank you very much for the update. also new this morning with a lot of focus on the middle east, president obama right now in china praising u.s. relations with china as he wraps up meetings with asian leaders in cambodia. the president sitting down with china's outgearing premier tuesday at the summit of the association of southeast asian nations. now, the president telling him

their birthday suits. public nudity is certainly not new to the castro, it's just that now it seems to be more pronounced, which is now scott weine rechlt, the supervisor who represents that district has w proposed this ban. the third time you could be looking at a misdemeanor charge with a $500 fine and possible jail time. >> those who didn't care that much have gotten fet up with it and it's gay people, straight people, people with kids, people without kids. it's pretty broad-based. >> reporter: now, the ordinance would not ban public nudity during some events like gay pride, bay to breakers, those events you could still be out in the buff. one of the reason the nudists want to express themselves this way, it's basically a freedom of

speech issue which is one reason why some of them have already filed a lawsuit, a federal lawsuit in case this ordinance does pass, they'll have that queued up to try to block it. that vote coming down from the board of supervisors here at city hall at 2:00 this afternoon. reporting live here in san francisco, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks, wabob. >> christina loren telling us if you're heading outside, wear at least an umbrella. >> at least socks. that's my one requirement. you know what, you want the umbrella but you probably won't actually be using it until later on today, so don't mark my words unless they are those words. i know, christina loren said it's going to rain today and that rain might happen in your neck of the woods at about 5:00 p.m. tonight but, hey, it's still going to come. 57 degrees in stinson beach, 57 in san francisco and 59 in napa. we're just protecting you, looking out for your best

interests. 55 in san jose. you're nice and mild in sunnyvale at 57 and 61 in oaktown to start. so winds are picking up. this is indicative of that front moving in. we've got two competing systems. high pressure still in control more or less of the greater bay area. that's going to start to weaken as we head throughout the day today and this front starts to push in but we're still about 12 hours away from steady rainfall even in the north bay. i did want to point out showers are starting to move to the south, getting some isolated activity just offshore so it all works out like this. light showers through mid-morning up in the north bay. rain spreads to the south as we head throughout the afternoon. the heaviest rain is between 5:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. showers will start to subside wednesday as we head throughout the early morning hours. so if you're planning to travel, the best bet is to leave right now or tomorrow when the storm system clears out of here. 66 in santa teresa and 65 in san

jose. so basically staying on track when it comes to our averages for this time of year in your temperature department. however, as we head throughout saturday we'll nudge those numbers above average. if you still have friends and family in town as we enter the weekend, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get them outdoors. even thanksgiving day looks good. 65 degrees inlane, 64 bayside and 63 at the coast for turkey day. 5:37. a lot of people on the roads right now. >> it's going to be a compressed commute so 7:30 to 9:30 everybody makes that last rush to get in there and busy travel day as well tomorrow. right now we're looking at a lighter flow. we don't see the first burst kicking in like we usually do. i do see slowing northbound on highway 87. we'll see if this sticks around or it's just a little blip that happened as a few more folks getting into downtown early. fremont, southbound side with

the headlights coming past the truck scales right there and tesla and toward mission. no slowing for 880 or 680 coming down toward the funnel. a smooth drive through sunol as well. over on the peninsula side we'll look at 101 as well. northbound picking up the volume coming up past university. still at the speed limit. palo alto in through san mateo and out of the city on 101 a smooth drive as well. we're looking over to the east bay as well and this is the bay bridge toll plaza with the cash lanes starting to back up just a few cars deep. now the fastrak lanes a big sprang here. emeryville shows you the volume of traffic coming down to the bay bridge, and the bay bridge itself has been issued a wind advisory by chp. you can see the camera tremble from time to time, so just keep that in mind. back to you. it is 5:48 right now. from southern california, four men right now in fbi custody this morning facing terrorism charges. the fbi says the group allegedly plotted what it calls a violent jihad to kill americans here and abroad. they were allegedly planning to join al qaeda and the taliban in

afghanistan. those four suspects were arrested last friday. coming up in our next half hour, we will have a live report from so southern california with all the information on this latest investigation. plans for a new warriors arena are moving forward. today the pourboard of supervis is expected to sign off on the financial feasibility of that project. the arena is expected to bring 4300 jobs to san francisco, but the warriors promised to give current oracle arena employees first crack at those new jobs. in the meantime the new niners stadium will reportedly also be the home to the kraft fight hunger bowl. santa clara stadium authority is expected to make that announcement later this afternoon. the bowl game is currently played at at&t park. it would move when the new stadium opens in 2014. >> i just recently had a chance to drive by that new stadium. that thing is going up at a very accelerated rate. it looks good already. 5:50 right now. a bay area home is getting a little bit of a makeover. coming up why not everybody is

happy about the change. and disaster. i mean absolute disaster. this morning. hewlett-packard in palo alto from a financial standpoint. we'll take a look.

good morning, everybody. how are you feeling on this tuesday very early. it is a live look for you there at the bay bridge, looking very nice there with the lights glowing as we head towards thanksgiving. it is 5:52. from an iconic bridge, we head to an iconic house. a san francisco house with a very big-time film history will no longer be on public display for all you movie buffs out there. the owner of this lombard street homemade famous by alfred hitchcock's 1958 thriller

"vertigo" say they are sick of being a tourist attraction. this is a still shot from that movie. i believe that is kim novak there. jimmy stewart also in that movie. to stop all the spying eyes the couple put up a six-foot wall right in front of the house. they say they had to do it. this comes after years of tourists ringing their doorbell, strangers throwing a little picnic on their phelfence and tossing garbage in their yard. a mystery for hewlett-packard which has gone over the books belonging to a company it bought recently and found something wrong. the big question is what. scott mcgrew, alarm this morning in palo alto. >> absolutely. good morning, laura. hewlett-packard said there are accounting irregularity the in the books of autonomy and hp will set aside billions of dollars to repair the damage. many said the purchase of the company was a mistake from the get-go. now there is evidence. hp said that autonomy's books may not have been correct. hp is going to take a nearly $9

billion charge on the error. the whole purchase was $11 billion. it is hard to think of anything worse this morning for hewlett-packard. we expected the company to say computer sales were sinking and they said that. we expected printer sales were sinking, and they said that. but that one of silicon valley's biggest and more storied companies would say there are $9 billion worth of errors in a company it bought for $11 billion, we did not see that coming. that is not going to go over well on wall street. shares in pretrading down 11%. this even after new ceo meg whitman warned the planned turn-around would take longer than she expected. a rare rally on the markets monday. the state of california said it made $290 million in last week's auction of carbon credits and then it sold all the credits for next year. that said, for an auction, the price didn't rise very much. this system called cap and trade was created by a proposition

back in 2006 but just took effect. under the system factories and other polluters get a cap, a top limit to how much carbon they create. if my factory makes less than the cap, i get credits. i can sell those credits to jon to use in his factory to pollute above the limit, jon, we wish you wouldn't. >> what kind of factory are you running? >> you know what, i have no scruples. i apologize profusely. i'll work on that. hey, let's see we've got to check in on the weather this morning with meteorologist christina loren. some rain headed our way. >> yes, actually falling over parts of the bay area. that's good news when it comes to the emissions. yeah, we're going to get good air quality out there today and temperatures are going to be cool enough for a jacket. we also have breezy conditions out there. grab the jackets, grab the umbrella, here's where we're headed. showers start to move south of the golden gate bridge. as we head through noon the heaviest moisture is expected from 5:00 p.m. this evening until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow

morning. temperatures will be relatively mild. we'll get enough breaks of sun in order to hit 68 degrees in livermore, 66 for san francisco and 65 in san jose. changes, more change to come, another system moves in over the weekend. we'll talk about that in my full forecast. let's check on your roads with mike. all right, we're looking over here to oakland and 880. the freeway itself going over the high street bridge moves smoothly, but high street itself we have an accident on the off-ramp on the southbound side. i saw flashing lights travel back and forth between sides of the freeway. it looks like the accident should be in the final clearing stages. just a word of caution if you're using the high street off-ramp the next 15 to 20 minutes. looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, the cash lanes backing up. we're seeing backups here and red roadways in the north bay as well. you can see the sheen at the truck scales. 5:57 right now. we have information on a stabbing at the u.s. embassy in israel. we'll have all the details for you coming up in a live report.
